Sometimes it happens...
In the midst of the most tumultuous life circumstance, you have a moment where you experience an unexpected feeling of goodness. A little event can trigger it, or a memory, or a thought. This innate sense of our own well-being, in spite of whatever is going on around us, is our Original Wellness. It is our birthright, the surprise toy in the crackerjack box of our psyches. Our brains can be rewired to experience more of it. The molecular fingerprint of this experience is showing up in laboratories all over the globe. Emotions create chemicals in our bodies and chemicals in our bodies create emotions. We are in the grip of this cycle all day, every day, mostly unconsciously. Our thoughts are affecting the cycle all the time. But then, there are moments of grace. We transcend the usual. Instead of feeling helpless, we feel free, or instead of feeling hopeless, we feel peace. It's almost comical, this sudden shift from a familiar perception to a fresh one. We may give a litttle laugh. And then, we often slip back into our usual realm of being, our tried and true set point for relative happiness or misery.
